"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone"

EPISODE 1: The Never Ending Election

Sen Clinton: [after gaining less than the double digit lead needed to "win" over support following the lastest Primary results, and losing her composure, and calling out to God, in front of the shivering undeclared superdelegates - and on national television - the Daughter, the EX-President,the Governor and the Senator from NY enter the State Judgement Chamber... and the OPPONENT enters - He is told to sit and discovers that he has been replaced by the SENATOR from New York] Stay where you are. No further. You have been removed from this election; YOU CAN'T BE ELECTED - I WILL BE ELECTED the MSM have declared you OBSOLETE. I have the popular vote! I have the most votes of anyone who ever ran for any office in the universe. YOU ARE OBSOLETE! I am now you -- I MUST RULE!
Sen Obama: ...Obsolete? You are declaring yourself the winner of the popular vote by counting the votes from Outer Mongolia? You are not counting any of the popular votes from any Caucus States. You are giving me zero popular votes in Michigan and counting all of your votes.
In what planet do you have a lead in the popular vote?
Sen Clinton: [like a robot] You have disgraced the State before the masses. You have proven yourself a hypocrite, and a traitor to the ideals of the State; you have declared yourself an ELITIST, as such, no function for the masses. You are OBSOLETE. (chants of "Yes We Can" rise in the background"
Sen Obama: But I'm not! I'm NOT obsolete! Hey that's my slogan - why are your supporters chanting that?
Clinton: YOU ARE OBSOLETE!  (the voices rise)
Some bald man screams out in the backround "and you are a Judas too!"
Sen Obama: [becoming agitated] You're making a mistake! *I'm not obsolete!* I BELIEVE in the State! I WORK for the State! I help give the State STRENGTH!
I Believe in the people! I work for the People! I tell the people the truth! How can you call ME obsolete? HOW CAN YOU?
Clinton: YOU ARE OBSOLETE...!
I AM THE ONE! You have made this election unholy - you have made it about race - you have made it about your own personal ambition - you are not one of the people
I AM OF THE PEOPLE! 
[dozens of shouting Clintonistas pounce on the Opponent and tear him to shreads]

A fable? Most assuredly. But who's to say at some distant moment there might not be a
 leader with a name that isn't Clinton or Bush - a media who lets people think - an assembly line producing a gentle product in the form of a grandmother whose stock in trade is love? Fable, sure—but who's to say?
